Gum contouring & crown lengthening in Pleasant Prairie
— reshape your smile’s frame for a more balanced, beautiful result
When more than 3–4mm of pink gum tissue shows during a full smile, making teeth look disproportionately short. This is almost always a natural anatomical asset, not a hygiene problem.
When gum levels differ across teeth — some sitting higher and others lower — creating an asymmetric frame even when the teeth themselves are perfectly straight.
When healthy, adult natural teeth are partially covered by excess soft tissue margins. Advanced laser contouring safely exposes the full crown underneath, often with dramatic results.
When a broken tooth lacks the surface area needed to hold a permanent crown. Crown lengthening safely creates the clear structural space required for a predictable restoration.
Dental veneers are micro-thin shells crafted from dental porcelain or durable composite resins that are custom-engineered and permanently bonded over the front faces of your teeth. They create a beautiful aesthetic shell that instantly covers structural, alignment, or color imperfections. Because dental porcelain mimics the translucent depth and light-reflecting properties of biological enamel, veneers look completely natural. The final porcelain matrix is highly stain-resistant against coffee or tea and bonds molecularly to reinforce your existing tooth stability for decades.

Gum contouring requires as much artistic vision as technical skill. Dr. Piontek evaluates tooth shapes, facial structures, and ideal smile proportions to craft a symmetrical, flattering frame for your teeth.
When contouring is part of a larger cosmetic plan, we sequence it properly — reshaping the gum architecture first, letting it heal, and then crafting restorations for a perfectly balanced final result.

No. The procedure is performed under standard local anesthesia to keep you completely comfortable — you will feel pressure but no pain. Most patients report only mild soreness and slight swelling for 1 to 3 days afterward, which is easily managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.
No. Once excess soft tissue is safely removed and the healthy margins are established, gum tissue does not grow back. Rare exceptions only occur due to specific medication-related overgrowth side effects or unmanaged underlying systemic medical changes.
Gum contouring is a purely cosmetic treatment that reshapes uneven or excess gum tissue to improve smile symmetry. Crown lengthening is a restorative procedure that lowers both the gum and a micro-layer of bone to expose enough healthy tooth structure for a crown to fit securely.
Purely cosmetic gum contouring is an elective procedure and is not covered by insurance. However, functional crown lengthening performed to prepare a damaged tooth for a necessary crown is frequently covered under restorative benefits. We verify your specific coverage before treatment.
Your updated gum line contours are visible immediately on the day of your appointment. While minor swelling resolves and the final tissue position fully settles over 1 to 2 weeks, patients are universally thrilled with the high-impact changes on day one.
